Our Proposition:

• We will collect, collate and compare real-time sensor information against defined thresholdi values before delivering exception data, per port PDU control and cabinet access control data to a single operational web-interface.
• We can calculate and publish live PUE/DCiE statistics to your corporate web portal.
• Regardless of location
• Regardless of sensor manufacturer
• Regardless of sensor density
• Regardless of scale

This will impact upon:

• Use of power
• Management of remote facilities
• Access control and CCTV monitoring
• Pre-emptive maintenance
• Scheduled and unscheduled downtime
• SLA penalty payments
• The support of Green initiatives & proof of commitment to Green policies
• Operational efficiency, cost efficiencies and savings
• EU Code of Conduct compliance

What REM is not:

• REM is not a provisioning tool - Data Centre Planning is already covered by IBM, nlyte, Avocent, Aperture etc.
• REM is not an asset management tool - Datacentre Asset Management is already covered by IBM, BMC etc.
• REM is not a Thermodynamic Modelling tool and will not replace an MMT, CFD or Infra-red imaging solution.


• REM is door access control, local and remote cabinet access control, CCTV, power and environmental monitoring and management - all from the same application.
• REM will not cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to buy or take years to implement.

But REM will:

• Quickly and inexpensively contribute to the aims of all these objectives and requirements
• Report on suspect equipment
• Produce trend reports to monitor progressive issues
• Prevent the need to have onsite staff at distant locations
• Enable access control and 'time on site' monitoring
• Enable remote switching of power via intelligent PDUs
• Reduce exposure to SLA penalties
• Deliver collated alert information to Operations in a single interface
• Publicise your company's commitment to Green Initiatives (PUE)

PUE?

• A measure of a facility's total power delivered divided by its IT equipment power usage level gives a total power usage effectiveness (PUE) figure.

A = UPS modules, Switchgear, Generators, Power distribution units & Batteries
B = Total power loads also include cooling and environmental system components such as: Chillers, Computer room air-conditioning, Direct expansion air handler (DX) units, Pumps, Cooling towers, Security systems & Lighting
C = IT equipment power is defined as the devices used to manage, route, store, or process data within a data centre. These include: Computers (desktop, workstation, laptop and servers), Storage devices, Network equipment, KVM / Monitors / Sensors and distribution losses external to the IT equipment

Management before REM:

Multi-site before REM:

A Proper Solution - A REM Solution:

• One Management Solution
• As many sites and sensors as necessary!

A Proper Solution - A REM Solution:

Now with Dynamic PUE/DCiE Delivery!

Without REM - Proprietary Software:

Devicei communicates with proprietary software using proprietary protocol.

Without REM - Just SNMPi:

SNMPi Devicei with no software, managed directly, NMSi interface module must be more complex.

Without REM - Proprietary Software & SNMPi:

Devicei with proprietary 'concentrator' software solves some of the problems of scale, but the interface problems remain.

Without REM - Email & SMS alerts:

Some devices do not support e-mail, some will send e-mail directly, others will send from the proprietary software.

With REM - Everything Covered:

Geographic View:
